Rochelle Collis: Skin Siren

Rochelle Collis is a mother, skin expert and business owner all in one. She is also responsible for creating one of the best skin rejuvenation treatments in Sydney (yes…I am a loyal rejuvenation groupie). Having started her career in marketing and pharmaceutical sales, Rochelle quickly recognised that sitting in an office every day was not the career for her. She moved into the cosmetic medicine side of skin care and now is committed to bringing women like you and me affordable skin care and repair that was once reserved for the high-end celebrity. Well, thank goodness for that!

Passionate, driven and caring.

4. HAVE YOU HAD TIMES OF CAREER UNCERTAINTY?

10. HAS THE DEFINITION OF SUCCESS CHANGED FOR YOU OVER THE COURSE OF YOUR CAREER?

Absolutely. Success is ongoing and there is always the satisfaction in out-doing your personal best. However, helping others succeed can be just as gratifying. Nurturing the careers of my team is now defining personal and professional success for me.

12. WHAT WOMEN HAVE INSPIRED YOU?

I have always admired watching other women succeed. Mia Freedman (Mamamia), Sarah Wilson (I Quit Sugar), Roxy Jacenko (Sweaty Betty) have all inspiration women and who have certainly had a profound influence in how to better my own professional goals and life.

Orgainisation is key, along with prioritising matters. However, family always always always comes first.

What was once unaffordable, a backdoor secret or reserved only for the celebrity is now available for the people who need it.
